Sony announced today a major policy shift regarding crossplay with other consoles. PlayStation 4 previously wouldn’t allow online games to connect to Xbox One or Switch players. Today, Sony is starting a beta test for Fortnite crossplay.
Crossplay between consoles once seemed like a fantasy, but Xbox One and Switch have enabled people to play together for games like Fortnite and Rocket League. PlayStation 4 would permit crossplay with PC players, but it refused to connect to other consoles. Sony’s excuse stated that such crossplay would hamper its capability to deliver a consistent experience.
